    I'm not all that busy at the minute, but still there's no way I'm watching ten minutes of whatever that is. What's it about?

    Have you looked around NUIG/UCD/UCC. Ireland is infested with hipsters.

    Irish hipsters are a copy of a copy of a copy.

    Pretty much any University/College town.

    Maybe I just don't pay attention to people that much but I've seen very few hipsters here. In fact, I hear them being talked about more often than I see them!

    So long as they're serving good coffee and good beer, which they seem only too happy to do, I'm happy for them.

    Being a hipster is too mainstream.

    Aye, although I'd make an exception in relation to Dublin - it is pretty hipster central around Grafton/Dame Street from what I observe.

    A lot of the time people just use the term in relation to people whose tastes they don't share - for a while I wasn't sure it was a real thing, but it is all right I think. The Simpsons episode The Day The Earth Stood Cool actually nails it, which is strange for a recent Simpsons episode.

    The thing of being into retro tat ironically and so on was around long before 2010/11 when it seemed all the talk of hipsters was just starting (yes I'm aware of the hipstery-ness of that statement).

    The reason that episode nailed it was they had Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen from 'Portlandia' as guests, the show which gently skewers hipsterism and is highly recommended by me.

    Surely it takes more than that to be classed as a hipster?

    Thanks, I haven't seen it but I'll have a look at it later. It better not be like the rest of season 20-24! :)

    I actually spent a few months in Williamsburg and to be honest, a lot of the 'hipsters' over there are much less up their own holes than their Irish counterparts.

    I'm a hippy and proud of it. I remember the Seventies.

    Intend to die in a hippy way and be buried in a cardboard coffin. Under ferns.

    I was in Vermont recently, it's pretty much the hipster capital of the world. I half expected to see a few Penny Farthing.

    It's strange that people are still going on about hipsters in 2015. Hipster culture really died out towards the end of the 00's when it got consumed by pop culture and became distorted. The whole idea of a hipster sitting in a Starbucks on a MacBook wearing clothes from some high street store is the complete opposite of what the modern incarnation of a hipster (from mid/late 90's) is supposed to represent, which was a reaction against capitalism.
